We loved our stay here! We enjoyed the quiet, the scenery, the stars, and exploring the hills behind the cabin. The cabin was comfortable and welcoming. We all enjoyed the books and the children loved the toys and games. We had so much fun getting to know the farm animals and spending a day in the pioneer cabin. Best of all was the warm and generous hospitality. Overall, this was the best stay we've had with our family and we hope to come back!

We LOVED every single minute at this Cabin. Ms Lisa couldn't have been more welcoming and responsive to answer any questions from the time that we decided to stay here. The cabin was comfortable and cozy. We knew that we were going to be "off the grid" and we totally enjoyed the family time together.

Wonderful Family Vacation

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time staying here while skiing at Wolf Creek. The cabin was very clean and cozy and my teens enjoyed exploring the pioneer cabin on the property and all of the animals! The drive to Wolf Creek Ski area was about 35 minutes and beautiful. Would stay here again!

My group and I booked this cabin for a week for the 3rd rifle hunting season. This was hands down the best decision we made. The cabin was absolutely perfect in every way. After a long day in the woods it was definitely nice to come back to what felt like home. The rooms were exceptionally clean, having a hot shower everyday was a plus and the kitchen had all the amenities for any cooking you may do. Lisa and Tim have an amazing property and I highly recommend anyone to stay here. We will definitely be booking this again in the near future.

Little piece of heaven

We’ve stayed with Lisa & Tim several years now. Every year is more special. It is truly a special place that changes your soul and opens your heart. I highly recommend. I always feel like I’m coming home

Our stay was beautiful and calm. The property was unique. The host, Lisa, was so welcoming and let my 2 year old daughter accompany her during animal feedings. She was in heaven! I’d definitely return.

The place was excellent- I have stayed in different places in Colorado for years and have stayed at Aspen to Telluride in extraordinary places. I have done the high mountain passes- several off road adventures and fished the high mountains lakes- even campsites in the national forest- well I found all those awesome experiences in one place. The forest road past the ranch up to 11 thousand plus was easily accessible with my one ton dually 4 wheel drive- yes even had fresh vegetables from the host garden- if you want to really get to know Colorado and perhaps understand how life really exists for the people and not some exotic resort- give the ranch a visit. I got to see animals in the valley - elk deer and other wildlife.Lisa went way beyond any expectations- her husband gave us a tour of the ranch- many examples of the true Colorado that few will ever experience- watching her devotion to her farm animals- going to the creek and watching the beavers at their daily routine.It’s really a wonderful experience- just read all the information as it is really important- understand life on solar system is different- no fancy air conditioning- wake up to the cool morning air- the cabin is outstanding comforting with plenty of convenience to stay with all the other daily necessities- propane heater - large wood stove- large refrigerator - modern full bathrooms- no need for tv and cell phones and yes we provided our on starlink mini as for medical devices- be brave for the adventure

This was an amazing experience! We will definitely be back! Host has thought of everything and made sure you were comfortable! From the homemade soap to the horses out your front porch to the kids closet full of old time dress up clothes, this place was amazing! Notes: a private gate to the national forest is literally 30ft from your front door! It is OFF GRID, electric is very limited but somehow it is still very comfortable! The glow of the propane lights inside brings you back to a wonderful point in history! Coffee is made in a percolator!Very smooth! They are very kids friendly and pet friendly!

complete decompress and reset

This place is amazing. Lisa and Tim are even more amazing! The pictures on the website are absolutely an accurate representation of the property, but do not do it justice. This was our second time to stay here and it felt like we were coming home as we pulled through the gate. If you want to step away from this crazy world for a minute and take a deep breath to reset...this is your place. We originally stayed here because it was convenient to Wolf Creek. The kids couldn't wait to ski in the morning and then they couldn't get home fast enough to help Ms Lisa take care of all their "friends" (animals). The hosts of this property are more than gracious. We will be back for many many years to come. It's clear they have a love for the property and just want others to experience the beauty and peace of this place.

Frontier Fun

My two young kids and I loved our time on the farm! It was the perfect combination of relaxation and adventure. The house itself was beautiful and clean and well-stocked with everything you need for comfort and fun. I loved how the reliance on off-the-grid solar power brought awareness to our energy usage and the opportunity to disconnect. My kids absolutely LOVED playing dress-up with all of the many cowboy costumes and cosplaying "wild west" with toy guns and real lassos. They loved the animals and are still talking about Princess Buttercup and wondering what her baby looks like. Lisa is an absolute treasure and the kids really enjoyed helping her gather eggs and feed the animals. We also brought our dog with us and she loved splashing in the creek on the property. Thank you so much to Lisa and Tim for their hospitality.

A Magical Place

This was our third stay with Tim and Lisa. When I asked my son how he was going to describe the ranch to his friends he said the only way to describe it was as a magical happy fun place...and oh yeah mom, the skiing(Wolf Creek) was epic too. Every time we leave, we know we will be back again. Always leave with a sense of peace and calmness. Lisa and Tim have the best animals and stories; and love sharing their knowledge with guests. If you're worried about the cell/internet situation...it is extremely limited, but we don't miss it for a week. The wood burning stove keeps you MORE than warm enough. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could need and the handmade soap in the bathrooms is a nice bonus. Truly gracious hosts!! Can't wait to see y'all next year(if not before!!)

The property was well maintained and was true to the description provided. It was a perfect location for enjoying peace and quiet, hiking and getting in touch with nature. The owners could not have been anymore accommodating and hospitable. One day of our stay my dog was crying in her cage when I was out in town and Lisa volunteered to and did walk her for us. I don’t normally ever leave reviews but the owners and place were so wonderful I wanted to share that for future guests.

Perfect hunting cabin

We stayed at this cabin because it was 5 min from where we hunt. It was a perfect way to come back from hunting every morning and night. The fireplace will damn near cook you out of there if you let it. Will definitely be staying there again not just for hunting. With no wifi or t.v. , it made my 13 year old son interact with grandpa and dad much more. Thanks again tim and Lisa The Hughes family

Wonderful 'Back in Time' Ranch

Tim and Lisa have a wonderful property 'off-the-grid' but close to town and its amenities. The solar power enable use of the lights and the fridge. The propane provided hot water and stove for cooking. The fire pit provided a great place to commune after a hard day of hiking and fishing. If you absolutely need a cell phone signal, 4G is available via a 5 min drive to the south. One of the three of us had two-bars to be able to text. The ranch grounds were a heavenly slice of nostalgia with a hint of 'Little House on the Prairie.'

Off the grid

We had a wonderful time staying at Lisa and Tims place off the grid. It was a great change of pace and really allowed us to “unplug” from the craziness of life. We skied 3 days during a great snow storm of the year. The Homestead Ranch is breathtaking and so accommodating.

Wonderful, quiet, cozy cabin

Lisa and Tim's cabin was a wonderful place to spend a week skiing at Wolf Creek Pass with our entire family. Being "off-grid" was refreshing and the cabin was plenty warm and cozy with the great wood-burning stove. Tim and Lisa are tremendous hosts and were very kind and helpful in assisting us with our flat tire on our last day at the ranch! We highly recommend this great spot if you want quiet, beauty, greater simplicity and great hosts. We also recommend hiking up to the mesa just behind the property!

Electric is powered by solar power so is not as plentiful as normal. Lights and refrigerator running for continuous hours can zap the power.

Great off the grid place to stay!

We selected this place to ‘get away from it all’ for a week. We were very impressed with the ranch property and everything there was to see and do there as well as nearby. We especially liked that we could have our dogs there with us (they even have a fenced in area on the back of the cabin for the dogs to use!) We never met Tim but Lisa came over to greet us when we arrived and checked in with us again a couple of days later. She was super friendly, understanding and accommodating. We would highly recommend staying here especially if you have kids and/or dogs!

Beautiful countryside getaway

Our 7-night stay in this cabin was a great treat to the whole family. The cabin is simple, clean and simply adorable. Lisa and Tim, the ranch owners, are extremely friendly and helpful. Our four children, age 5-11, loved helping out with the farm animals, playing with the barn cats and doing some traditional crafts. The area, with the San Luis Valley and the Rio Grande National Forest, offers a beautiful landscape for hiking and excursions. For rainy days, the house is packed with adventure books and games. We loved our calm relaxing vacation here and would recommend this rental to anyone seeking a peaceful place in a beautiful landscape.
